20170192639, Jul 6, 2017

Filed:

May 8, 2016

Appl. No.:

15/149162

Inventors:

- Mountain View CA, US
Joseph NELSON - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/0486

Abstract:

Techniques include receiving a search query from a user of a user device, transmitting the query to a search system, and receiving a search result from the system. The result specifies a first state of a first software application (app), the state associated with a first function performed based on a parameter. The techniques further include displaying a user-selectable link associated with the result, the link configured to, upon being selected, cause the device to set the first software app into the first state. The techniques still further include receiving a user input selecting the link and an app icon displayed at the device from the user, the icon associated with a second software app installed on the device. The techniques also include, in response to receiving the input, setting the second software app into a second state associated with a second function performed based on the parameter.

The techniques further include displaying a first user-selectable link associated with the first result, the link configured to, upon being selected, set the app into the first state. The techniques still further include receiving a first user input and displaying a second user-selectable link associated with a second (e.g., previously stored) search result, the result specifying a second parameter. The techniques also include receiving a second user input selecting the first and second links and displaying a third user-selectable link associated with the first and second results, the link configured to, upon being selected, set the app into a second state associated with the function performed based on the second parameter.

Appl. No.:

14/858801

Inventors:

- Mountain View CA, US
Joseph Phillip Nelson - Mountain View CA, US

Assignee:

Quixey, Inc. - Mountain View CA

International Classification:

G06F 3/0482
G06F 3/0484
G06F 17/30
G06F 3/0488

Abstract:

A method includes receiving cards at data processing hardware. Each card represents a collection of application access mechanisms, each application access mechanism having reference to a corresponding application executable on the data processing hardware and indicating a performable operation for the corresponding application. The collection of application access mechanisms has one or more similar application access mechanism attributes. The method also includes displaying a graphical user interface on a display in communication with the data processing hardware, the graphical user interface including card user selectable links. Each card user selectable link is associated with a card and a card access mechanism having a reference to the collection of application access mechanisms represented by the card. The method further includes receiving a user input through the graphical user interface.

Inventors:

Joseph NELSON - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 17/30
H04W 4/00

Abstract:

Techniques include receiving a search query and an indication of a proximate device located near a user device from the user device and identifying one or more records included in a search data store based on the query and, e.g., the indication. In this example, the user device receives the indication from the proximate device via a local wireless network using which the proximate device communicates. Also in this example, each record includes record content (e.g., web links, documents, media files, software applications, or other data) and record information describing the content. In some examples, the techniques further include generating result scores for the identified records based on the indication and selecting one or more of the records based on the scores. The techniques also include selecting the record content from the identified (and, e.g., selected) records and transmitting the content to the user device as search results.
